A research team led by the A*STAR Genome Institute of Singapore (A*STAR GIS) have developed a method to accurately and efficiently read DNA containing non-standard bases—a task once thought too ...

DNA is the blueprint of life. Genes encode proteins and serve as the body's basic components. However, building a functioning organism also requires precise instructions about when, where, and how ...

Artificial intelligence can read data stored in DNA strands within 10 minutes rather than the days required for previous methods, bringing DNA storage closer to practical use in computing. “DNA can ...

NEW YORK – Scientists have decoded the DNA of a celebrated “living fossil” fish, gaining new insights into how today’s mammals, amphibians, reptiles and birds evolved from a fish ancestor. The African ...

"This is truly a platform technology, a whole new way of doing things that can change the paradigm of the way things are done in the lab." Elsewhere, a half-dozen companies are racing to come up with ...

The scientists at deCODE Genetics, a subsidiary of Amgen, sought to deepen the understanding of cis-acting influences of sequence variants on CpG methylation. In the study, the scientists were able to ...

Scientists have developed a breakthrough method to track diet using stool metagenomic data. This non-invasive, data-driven approach offers an objective alternative to traditional food diaries and ...

Highly valued economically, ecologically and culturally, the white oak (Quercus alba) is a keystone forest species and is one of the most abundant trees across much of eastern North America. It also ...

Less than 2% of the genome codes for proteins; the rest, once called 'junk DNA', contains regulatory elements. Researchers analyzed 10,000 to reveal how variants shape gene activity. (Nanowerk News) ...
